Takeoff with JA!
When it comes to flying, every great pilot knows the more quality training you have – both in the air and on the ground – the safer and more proficient a pilot you will be.
That’s why we’ve dedicated a significant part of our new 150,000-square-foot campus at Aurora Municipal Airport to the J.A. Flight Training Center. We offer a broad spectrum of customized programs that serves every level of aviators, from beginners to veteran pilots. We‘re also proud to be offering the Cessna Pilot Center (CPC) web-based curriculum. This program allows both our instructors and students to track their progress and accomplishments throughout the training as well as give students the ability to continue their education from the comfort of their own home. This level of organization and flexibility is one of the reasons that CPC students earn certificates and ratings in less time than the national average.
Our courses are designed to keep students engaged, exposing them to and preparing them for as many possibilities as they may encounter in the air. Safety is our top priority, so our instructors never allow student pilots to advance before they’re ready. Veteran pilots can count on our trainers to serve as skilled partners that help them keep up with the latest technology and exceed all FAA-mandated qualifications.
Walk in. Sit down. Take Flight.
The weather is never unflyable at JA! Along with our fleet of brand-new Garmin G1000 equipped Cessna aircraft, we’re also able to provide a weather, maintenance and budget proof flight training option: the Redbird FMX Full-Motion Flight Simulator. 
This flight training device complements the realistic visual flying experience with full movement, giving each pilot a chance to experience the pitch, roll, yaw, sway, heave and surge of a real-life flight. During your lesson, your instructor can create any normal or abnormal condition within the simulated aircraft or simulated external environment. Pilots at any level of training can use the Redbird FMX for:
- Learn to Fly Packages
- Private Pilot Course
- Instrument Pilot Course
- Career Pilot and Multi-Engine Course
- NEW – 21st Century Flight Review
